Methodology: Mixed methods were used to assess evaluation dimensions. The semi structure questionnaire, interview guide, observation checklists and documentary review were used to obtain information about programme context, implementation process, reach, fidelity, dose, adaptation and mechanisms of the impacts of the services provided to PLWHA. Evaluation findings: The evaluation findings revealed that programme was fairly implemented with overall 51% score of weighted factors. The evaluated factors show that implementation process was 42.8% and fidelity of the implementation is 43.5%. While dose and reach of the programme implementation show 38.64% and 79.64% respectively. Stakeholders were less engaging to the programme services as contextual limiting factors and integration of nutrition services to CTC services note as mediator of mechanisms of achieved reach. Using weight trend of PLWHA as nutrition status determination index seen as programme adaptation Conclusion: The CTC had inadequate implementation process that include limited number of staff to assist nutrition services, inadequate equipment, materials and supplies to better optimal programme implementation. Implementation components such as fidelity, dose and reach are imbalance implemented for optimal quality programme implementation. Recommendation: Hospital and regional health managements and ministry of health through TFNC and NACP with their nutrition stakeholders are urged to improve CTC capacity to better nutrition assessment, counseling and support services implementation for betterment of PLWHA.
